The Daily Show host is said to have first talked about the idea of a rally in response to Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' rally back in August. His expert marketing of the rally began with an announcement that he would have an announcement "sometime in the near to not-so-near future," and has evolved into a world-wide event with simultaneous rallies being held in 1,008 cities around the world according to the official website. He is scheduled to come on stage at 1:05. Charles Sykes/AP

President Barack Obama: Though the President appeared on the Daily Show, Wednesday, in a tough mid-term election for the Democrats the President will probably be tuning into the live online broadcast of the rally from a hotel room if anything. Charles Dharapak/AP

Steven Colbert: The self-dubbed Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. will definitely be appearing at the rally, in character as always. Originally billed as a separate rally, Colbert's satirical March to Keep Fear Alive was merged with his Comedy Central cohort's rally, turning the Rally to Restore Sanity into the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.

Glenn Beck: The instigator of John Stewart's rally was surprisingly good natured (if boastful) when he said, "I hope that Ed Schultz, the AFL-CIO, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and whoever else wants to plan a march in DC have the same great success that we had with Restoring Honor." That said, it is unlikely the conservative TV personality will be attending the rally. Mark Welsh/The Arlington Heights Daily Herald/AP

Oprah: The Queen of Daytime TV made a surprise appearance on the Daily Show earlier this month to announce her endorsement of the event, and even presented Stewart's audience members with free trips to the rally. She has not formally announced that she will participate or attend, but don't be surprised if she is one of the "speakers to be determined" on the current schedule. Mario Anzuoni/Reuters

Rush Limbaugh: The conservative radio personality cheered the rally on most recently saying (tongue in cheek) that if he didn't know better he'd think Colbert and Stewart were working for the Republicans by luring so many Democrats away from their polling stations three days before the mid-term election. No doubt Limbaugh won't be lured so easily and will not be attending the rally. Brian Jones/Las Vegas News Bureau/AP/File
